I make a double batch of these Awesome Stuffed Peppers once a month. We enjoy a meal and then I freeze the rest individually so if one of us gets hungry we just grab one and microwave it. Dinner, ready in minutes.I have to mention that when you are buying peppers try to pick the ones that will stand up on their own. It will make things easier for you. I always try to pick peppers that have 4 bumps on the bottom instead of the usual 3. Regardless of which kind you have you might have to trim the peppers so they stand up in your pan!

I have to admit that I have loved sweet peppers all of my life. When I was young I used to pick them, before they were even ready, from my grandparent’s garden! I didn’t even wash them first or care. I just ate them and loved every bite!

How to make Stuffed Peppers

Wash your peppers. Remove and discard the tops, seeds, and membranes.

Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward.

Now that I think about it I use peppers in so many recipes and I can’t seem to help it! The last recipe I am going to mention in is an easy Simple Steak or Chicken and Peppers Stir Fry which is full of peppers and either steak or chicken! Totally tasty too!I find these Awesome Stuffed Peppers are best made with a mixture of beef and pork or beef and sausage. Combined with pasta sauce and cheese. Everything we love in a meal. You will be glad you tried them.

Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, while the rice is cooking, cook the garlic, onions and ground meat until the meat is cooked through.

Wash your peppers. Remove and discard the tops, seeds, and membranes. Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward. Slice the bottoms of the peppers slightly if necessary so that they will stand upright.

In a bowl, mix the browned meat, cooked rice, pasta sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. You can add shredded cheese into the mixture if desired. I do sometimes. Ken does all the time. It is up to you.

Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each hollowed pepper and press down with a spoon. Pack the stuffing in.

Mix the remaining pasta sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and brush on top of the stuffed peppers.

Bake for 45 minutes, basting top with sauce at 15 and 30 minutes.

Then remove peppers from oven, baste one last time and add shredded cheese to the tops.
